PIA VPN Client Installation Failure

Hey everyone!

I’ve been trying to install the PIA VPN client on my PC, but have been having an issue. Upon running the installer, I get the error:

'libatomic' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'libatomic' found.

I have ‘libatomic1’ installed, but I cannot find a package for just ‘libatomic’. I found a few sites seemingly hosting the package, but I’m not sure what version I need, let alone if these sites are even safe. Has anyone else had this issue?

> ls -l /usr/lib64/libatomic.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Aug 22 15:20 /usr/lib64/libatomic.so.1 -> libatomic.so.1.2.0

So libatomic.so.1 is already a symlink to libatomic.so.1.2.0.

I would create a libatomic.so symlink to libatomic.so.1 and try again.

openSUSE named that package libatomic1 not libatomic.

So maybe add a symbolic link as suggested by marel and ignore the dependency.
